Usually articles lament the decline of marriage. This one says it's a good thing. Conventional wisdom is changing?

It’s all part of an evil scheme to make divorce lawyers have to file for unemployment.

The Communists plan to destroy the family by destroying marriage is successful.

When the next generation comes, comes the collapse of society.

As planned.

Perhaps the John Bircher’s were correct...........

Single people have a lot of disposable income, they pay a lot of taxes and don’t use a lot of tax payer resources.

Satan sez: Destroy the family and you destroy the children. Destroy the children and you destroy the nation.

No, this moron is PUSHING this unfounded opinion.

Perhaps single people are happy in their 20s, or even in their 30s, and the immature, even longer; or so they tell themselves. And the older they get, the unhappier they are. But being single allows spoiled brats to never really grow up and to also retain bad habits.

These singles aren't Monks or Nuns, living in a community!

Looks like the “Population Bomb” written about by the so called experts of the 60’s era totally fizzled. The same type of thinking is pushing global warming, today.

It doesn’t change the fundamental economics when there is no followup generation to pick up the costs of the previous generations.

The problem is based on a cultural flaw. It is essential that children, boys and girls, are raised with, and continually interact with each other in a chaperoned situation, *without* being distracted by school or religious studies. That is, it must be done as a *complement* for these, since students cannot study and interact at the same time.

For decades now, the assumption that children will socialize with each other “in school or church”, but the truth is that they are kept too busy there to do that. They need a LOT more.

Right now, the children who are best off have at least one sibling of the opposite gender near their age, from whom they learn how the other gender lives and interacts with their gender.

It is far better that children have peers that most of whom will be with them for years. The same group through elementary and even secondary school. This means there needs to be employment stability, so that their parents do not need to move to find work, taking their children with them.

But children who have been raised this better way will be much more inclined to lasting marriage, and even larger families.

I tend to think single adults have some type of disability or deformaty that makes family and procreation unattainable. I’m not convinced their single life is always their goal.

Single people, especially single women, vote overwhelmingly Democratic/Liberal. That alone tells you if it is a healthy way to live.

It certainly is not, and it harms women the most.

It’s not scalable...

How good is your way of life if you will not have children to perpetuate it once you are gone?

I can guarantee you that widowers living alone are being counted among these statistics and skewing the supposed good things “singles” supposedly do.

Young single people dont do much of anything except chase skirts and go out to eat.

How Godless. The singles described here are coasting on the societal norms inherited from a Christian nation. Their children and/or their Godless grandchildren will see nothing wrong with sin - because they’ll believe that there is no such thing - only power.

Studies have shown that people who stay single develop more confidence in their own opinions and undergo more personal growth and development than people who marry

I'mm not so sure. I don't know if they mean single mothers too, but there is a lot of emotional development in having a family and raising children.
